Staff Christmas Party by Chef Javs

By | Christmas | No Comments

  Every year, Chef Javs #ChefJavs plans a Xmas party for the staff at home and his Lolo & Lola’s staff in our garage. This year he invited the other staff of his tita so it was much more fun. More food and more prizes. His cousins helped him so it was even more meaningful. And this year a Lechon. It’s getting better every year 🙂  He usually likes to cook the Food but this year we told him to make the staff enjoy without having to prepare. He just made buko pandan. He conducts the games. We don’t join so they don’t get shy 🙂  we just watch via CCTV haha #H2HXmasstaff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-2 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-3lechon-xmas-party-staffxmas-party-food-party-kitchen-staff-party staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-8 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-6 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-7 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-11 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-12 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-4 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-5 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-9chef-javs-games-staff-xmas-partygames-staff-party staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs-1 staff-christmas-party-by-chef-javs

It’s our first Xmas without Dad & Mom 🙁 Happy that we are keeping the tradition of getting together still for Christmas. It’s our first time to do it early (23rd) Tradition is to have family picture taking for an hour before dinner.  This is how we celebrate ….. though we are missing Dad and Mom de Jesus who were with us in spirit  #H2HXmas noche-buena-de-jesus-2016-4noche-buena-de-jesus-2016-5noche-buena-de-jesus-2016-3noche-buena-de-jesus-2016-11noche-buena-de-jesus-2016-7
